Chapter 22, Thunder Shock's Assassination

Yang Yue has already told Shi Xun that the mansion here originally belonged to a family surnamed Yao, the head of the family was over sixty years old, and he used to be a county official, and he was also a famous local snake. Because Lu Bu fell in love with this house, he repeatedly proposed to buy it, but Yao Lao refused to allow it, or Yang Yue did his best not long ago, and even used some dishonorable means, to finally drive the Yao family away and buy the property at a low price.

It is estimated that because of this, the Yao family sent assassins to vent their anger, not wanting to mistakenly commit the servant - "The crime of Jiyue is also!" Lu Bu immediately ordered to hunt down the Yao family, and to kill Old Man Yao in front of Shi Xun with his own hands, as a reparation.

But just as he gave the order, Jiang Xu suddenly stood up and came out-"Wait", and then he arched his hand towards Lu Bu: "Lord, looking at this matter, it is very suspicious. ”

Lu Buyi frowned: "What does Bo Yi mean?" ”

Jiang Xu turned his head to look at Yang Yue: "Qingyan's assassin broke out, and he abandoned Qing and wanted to assassinate him, is it true?" "Are you sure he didn't go to you, but specifically wanted to kill Shixun? Yang Yue nodded again and again: "Everyone can see it." Jiang Xu said that it would be strange, if it was really an assassin sent by the Yao clan to vent his anger at the seizure of his house, then the first to assassinate Lu Bu, and the second to assassinate Yang Yue, no matter what, it would be impossible to get Shi Xun's turn.

So is it possible to recognize the wrong person? Dispatching assassins must be carefully planned, otherwise it will not be successful, and it will cause a catastrophe of extermination. "Lu Bu has lived in Jicheng for a long time, his height and shoulders are broad, and his appearance is also very distinctive, and there is no one in the whole city who does not recognize him; Yang Yue is the county guard of Hanyang, and he actually operates the matter of seizing the house, and it is impossible to see the fork.

If Lu Bu and Yang Yue are not there. Then it is still possible to say that the assassins vented their anger and murdered the people who lived in this house. The problem is that Yang Yue accompanied Shi Xun over, and the assassin could have taken Yang Yue directly, but he wanted to push Yang Yue away to assassinate Shi Xun...... Unless Xun looks very similar to Lu Bu - but you see. How can there be any resemblance between these two?

"Therefore, I thought that the assassin was not sent by the Yao clan, but he saw that it could not be done, and he just deceived me." The main target of the assassins must be Xun himself!

Lu Bu was a little dizzy by Jiang Xu's big set of words, but he still understood the basic meaning. At the moment, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he gritted his teeth and asked: "Bo Yixiang is capable of judging and judging, may he know the truth?" ”

Jiang Xu said that he might as well bring the assassin's body over, and let's search and search together to see if there are any clues.

The Assassin's corpse was then ordered to be brought in. Placed in the hall, in the light of the candle torch, Jiang Xu personally rolled up his sleeves, went to untie his clothes, and searched carefully. But he had just started to touch it, and suddenly Hou Cheng next to him said "Huh": "I seem to have seen this person before." ”

Jiang Xu clasped the assassin's head left and right with both hands, making it face the candlelight: "General take a closer look." Hou Cheng leaned down and looked at it carefully for a long time. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh: "I know that when I was patrolling the camp three days ago, I saw this person come out of the public tent!" ”

Lu Bu grabbed Hou Cheng's clothes: "Is it really this person?!" Hou Cheng took a closer look and replied that it was right. The man had a mole on his left cheek, and although it was dark and there was still a torch in the camp, he covered half of his face with a scarf, but it was exposed and made a deep impression on himself - I will not be mistaken.

Then I recalled. said that he patrolled the camp to the vicinity of the tent of Chen Palace that night, and suddenly saw a soldier hanging his head out. So he stepped forward to investigate, and the man replied that it was General Cao's subordinates. He came to inquire about Chen Taishou because of the grain distribution, and showed the order......

Cao Xuan shouted on the spot: "There is no such person under my command!" "Lu Bu's account can be called a general (although there may not really be a general) and the surname is Cao, then there is only Cao Xing, so he was so anxious that he quickly cleared it up.

Hou Cheng ignored him and continued to narrate, saying that since he saw the order, he didn't take it to heart, and let him go directly-"This person's voice is as hoarse as a duck." Yang Yue nodded again and again: "Exactly, before he died, he shouted for revenge for the Lord, and everyone heard about it." ”

Lu Bu was so angry that he kicked the corpse's head, and ran it back and forth—almost didn't step on Jiang Xu's hand—and ordered in a deep voice: "Quickly call the public platform to come and confront you!" ”

When he gave this order, Chen Gong was still discussing with Lai Shi how to send assassins to assassinate Shi Xun, and how to perfectly blame others without making Lu Bu suspicious. He said, I originally thought that there was no way but to blame Liu Bei, but the problem is that I still want to unite with Liu Bei and fight Cao Cao together, but now there is a great opportunity - "Yang Yue seized the Yao family's mansion, and Ju is Hongfu, if the Yao family sends an assassination, it will not implicate us and others." Lai Shi complimented repeatedly: "The lord's clever plan, everything will be done." ”

So, in fact, he didn't have time to send the assassin, and the assassin was actually sent by Zhao Ang.

On that day, Xun and Zhao Ang had a secret discussion, how to quickly bring down Chen Gong. Zhao Ang thought about it, and suddenly gritted his teeth: "I have a guest named Lei Zhen, who used to live his mother, and is willing to die for me." Or he can pretend to be ordered by Chen Gong to stab General Lu, but the assassination will not succeed, that is, he will be poisoned to death and blame Chen Gong. ”

It was Hoon who slapped him and said that it was very poisonous, but - I liked it. But after thinking about it again, he shook his head again: "General Lu's bravery, there is no right in the world, and he has been in Liangzhou for a long time, and he is also powerful, and he is very popular with people." If it is like Qin Wuyang entering the Qin Court, it is the first to covet him, what can he do? Zhao Ang said that Lei Zhen is very bold, and he has read books, he is not a country boy who has never seen the world, even if he is not as good as Jing Ke, he will not follow in the footsteps of Qin Wuyang. Besides, we didn't plan to let him kill Lu Bu in the first place.

However, Shi Xun still shook his head: "If it is for General Lu to be captured alive, and it is too late to take poison, under the torture, I am afraid of you and me!" "Are you a professional Assassin leader? Is there a poison that can be hidden between the teeth? If he hadn't had time to take the poison and was captured by Lu Bu, would he really be able to survive the torture and not confess to you and me? No, no, it's too risky.

Then his eyes rolled: "It is better to make him stab General Lu, than to make him stab me." If I am wounded, then General Lu wants to avoid Chen Gong and cannot get it-this bitter plan is also! "This thunder shock is likely to miss in front of Lu Bu, but let him assassinate me, then it is unlikely to miss. Of course, I didn't really let him kill me, but as long as I caused a little flesh injury, I could cry in front of Lu Bu, and Chen Gong would be able to escape by then? Sending assassins to murder important officials of the imperial court is a big crime, even if Lu Bu still wants to protect Chen Palace, he may not be able to keep it!

Unless Lu Bu really plans to tear his face with the imperial court, he completely ignores Shilin's mouth. At most, it will only leave Chen Gong's life, and if you want to reuse Chen Gong, it will be difficult to climb to the sky!

Zhao Ang nodded again and again, saying that this is a good idea, so let's plan the details again, how can we splash dirty water on Chen Gong's body-"That is, secretly make a note on the weapon?" ”

It was Xun who glanced at Zhao Ang, and said in his heart, Are you really a sergeant in Liangzhou? Or is it the same as me, and he is a second-year teenager who has watched too many unreliable costume dramas? Make a mark on a weapon? What kind of mark to write, write "Chen Gong self-acting dagger"? Isn't that!

Not to mention that there are almost no unified weapons in these years, unless they are used by hand, they will not engrave their names, and there is no reason to hand over the weapons with words to the assassins, if the assassins are really sent by Chen Gong, then they will definitely erase a piece of evidence related to themselves. Probably only those reckless people in Mu Wangfu will be short-sighted and carry a weapon engraved with the words "Pingxi Wangfu" to assassinate, right? But don't talk about Kangxi, even Lord Wei can see that it is unreliable, are you a country bun when Chen Gongtai is a bun?

Zhao Ang said otherwise, I will identify it, saying that this assassin is a guest of Chen Palace. Shi Xun still shook his head, saying that you can't identify it, and it won't be possible to hand over this job to Jiang Xu and the others - because you natives of Liangzhou have always been at odds with Chen Gong, and you will be suspected of blaming the blame, even if Lu Bu is stupid, when Chen Gong quibbles, you will have nothing to say. "General Sulu can only be identified by the old general." On the one hand, Lu Bu trusted the old generals brought out by the state the most, and on the other hand, although those guys were also at odds with Chen Gong, they didn't have any political brains, and they were not likely to play tricks to blame Jiangdong, which was not easy to arouse suspicion.

So Zhao Ang snapped his fingers and calculated, who should we pull into the water? Is it Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, or Song Xian, Cao Xing? Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are not in the army; Hao Meng didn't do it either, that guy was closer to Chen Gong.

Shi Xun said that the fewer people who know about this, the better, you Liangzhou faction can say hello to each other in advance, so that they can bite Chen Gong together when the time comes, but those old generals of Lu Bu - "I'm afraid they will all see the people who forget their righteousness." "At least Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian all had traitors in the original history, and I can't trust them - of course I can't tell Zhao Angming about this.

After thinking about it, in the end, he was familiar with the Twenty-five History and all kinds of wild history and anecdotes, and even familiar with a lot of romance novels, and was proficient in all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, and Xun gave an idea, taking advantage of Hou Cheng's patrol of the camp, let Lei Zhen go and bump into him, and then he would use Hou Cheng to bite out of Chen Gong - Hou Cheng was the most dissatisfied with Chen Gong among the generals, this is the information provided by Zhao Ang.

As for Lei Zhen's coming out of the tent of the Chen Palace, in fact, this was a trick - Lei Zhen had long been lurking in the shadows near the tent of the Chen Palace, and when he saw Hou Cheng leading the troops to patrol closely, he suddenly appeared, pretending to have just come out of the tent and was about to leave. Who can tell the difference in the middle of the night? It must be preconceived.

In fact, in addition to Xun and Zhao Ang, there were also Yang Yue, who cooperated with the acting, and Jiang Xu, the second-in-command of the Liangzhou faction - the number one was of course Yang Fu - so Jiang Xu suddenly jumped out to point out the suspicions on the assassin. As for the pretending to be sent by the Yao family, it was Xun's improvised intention before entering the city, and he immediately looked at Zhao Ang, and Zhao Ang understood that turning this bend more could increase the credibility of the assassination.

Chen Gong also thought of this, but he was "wise", and he had just planned, and he had already launched it first.

Originally, Lei Zhen was going to stab Shi Xun, but although Shi Xun was prepared, he instinctively shrank back when the matter came, and hid behind Jing Huanxiao as soon as he took a wrong step, so the old Jing Dai was injured. After being a passun, he didn't feel very forbearing, but seeing that Lao Jing's injury was not severe, he was relieved - I simply asked Lu Bu to ask for a maid to settle down for you, in return, these maids sent by Lu Bu are all good-looking, even I can't help drooling, you are a rough man, what is it to suffer such a little flesh injury?
